A stripper in Florida is facing criminal charges after hanging up on a deputy from the Pasco Sheriff’s Department who called about the woman’s missing 10-year-old daughter.

The sheriff’s office report about Bobbey Jo Boucher says she hung up on the deputy Wednesday after she told him that she “had to get on stage.” MyFox Tampa Bay said the deputy had contacted the 29-year-old about her missing daughter at the Calendar Girls strip club in the City of Hudson.

The deputy’s complaint says he was trying to gather information from Boucher so that he could file a missing persons report on her daughter, WTSP reported. The station said Boucher later said she put the deputy on hold to take another call.

The girl had been reported missing by her grandmother. The grandmother said the girl and Boucher had gone to a BBQ joint up the street from the strip club. Boucher told the deputy she left the girl there to go to work. The girl was found unharmed. She reportedly was missing about four hours.

Boucher was charged with obstruction. MyFox Tampa Bay said Boucher later posted bond and was released.
